Can you try with 6.5.1 and report back. There was a clipboard change that fixed Wine apps, I can believe VMs behave the same
Hello , i tried plasma 6.5.1, the problem is still there. But i don't have the virtualbox log entry anymore.
I’m facing this issue as well, I’ve tested this against Debian, Ubuntu, Arch, Kali, Windows 10 and Windows 11 virtual machines, all have the latest guest additions and extension pack installed There has been no change in my system’s configuration before and after finding this bug, except upgrading to 6.5.0-1, the new 6.5.1-1 update doesnt seem to fix this Guest to Host Clipboard is shared flawlessly, however Host to Guest just doesn’t Bidrectional Clipboard sharing works well in QEMU/KVM virtual machines that have spice agent installed, not sure if this information helps but here it is
Since 6.5.2 verion of plasma, this works again. So i close the bug.
